Points clés

  • Renders network topologies and node movements from ns-3 XML trace files
  • Provides playback controls including pause, step, and variable speed
  • Displays packet flow and transmission paths between network nodes
  • Functions as an offline analysis tool for post-simulation review on Linux

À propos de cette application

NetAnim is an offline network animator designed to visualize packet traces generated by the ns-3 network simulator. Running on Linux systems, the utility reads XML trace files produced during a simulation run and renders the topology, node movements, and packet transmissions across the network. Users can playback the recorded communication sessions, step through events frame by frame, and examine packet flows between individual nodes to understand protocol interactions and routing behavior.

The software focuses exclusively on post-simulation analysis rather than real-time execution monitoring. It allows investigators to inspect node positions, monitor queue lengths, and track the delivery status of packets across wired and wireless topologies defined in the simulation script. The interface provides standard playback controls such as pause, fast-forward, and zoom, alongside statistical summaries of packet drops and throughput over the recorded timeline.
